Steam deck Audio not working on Linux 6.4.12

Hello ! I read everywhere that when I'll install Arch Linux on my Steam deck, the audio is gonna work because I have kernel version 6+
I use KDE Plasma

Output of `uname -a`

Linux deck 6.4.12-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu, 24 Aug 2023 00:38:14 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

But The audio is not working properly !
To be precise :
- The speakers are working but the sound is very low.
- The headphone jack is not working
- Neither is the intern microphone or the headphone microphone
- But Plasma recognize the headphone microphone when plugged.

Re: Steam deck Audio not working on Linux 6.4.12

After a little bit of tinkering I found out that in the Audio settings of KDE Plasma, in the section Inactive Cards, there is "Rembrandt Radeon High Definition Audio Controller" with the profile set to OFF and no way to set it on.

I think this might be the problem. Can someone have an idea how to set the card on ?
